Yeringberg 'Yeringberg' Cabernet Blend 2014

'Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot, I believe. There’s a lot to be said for using all the colours in the Bordeaux palette. Plum, cassis, golden fruit cake, violets, dusty cedar and tobacco, a feathering of spice. Medium bodied, richly fruited, yet subdued, with silky but densely packed tannin, cool fresh raspberry acidity, distinctly savoury black olive tapanade/tobacco sorts of stuff, and a superb long finish where a rainbow of fruit splashes and cascades down the old neck, then grainy tannin and tobacco brings you gently back down to earth. Supremely stylish, age-worthy Cabernet. 95+ points.' Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
